Curatorial description (Accessed: 4 February 2018)
 
On February 21, 1866, Cameron wrote to Henry Cole, director of the South Kensington Museum, “I have been for 8 weeks nursing poor Philip Worsley on his dying bed. . . . The heart of man cannot conceive a sight more pitiful than the outward evidence of the breaking up of his whole being.” An Oxford-educated poet who translated the Odyssey and part of the Iliad into Spenserian verse, Worsley died of tuberculosis at the age of thirty the following May. Cameron's portrait, made the year of his death, vividly conveys the intensity of Worsley's intellectual life and something of its tragedy. To her subject's hypnotic gravity she added intimations of sacrifice, engulfing the dying poet in dramatic darkness.

"When I have such men before my camera my whole soul has endeavored to do its duty towards them in recording faithfully the greatness of the inner as well as the features of the outer man. The photograph thus taken has almost been the embodiment of prayer."
 
Julia Margaret Cameron, "The Annals of My Glass House," 1874, Photo Beacon (Chicago) 2 (1890), 157-60. Reprinted in Beaumont Newhall, ed. Photography: Essays & Images (New York: Museum of Modern Art, 1980), 136.

Albumen print

Allsworth Rare Books
Courtesy of Allsworth Rare Books (Catalogue: 5, #36)
 
Julia Margaret Cameron [1815-1879] took this image during one of Alamayou's visits to Queen Victoria at Osborne House, Isle of Wight, in 1868. Cameron's portraits of Alamyou and Speedy were printed in large format, as well as in the form of cabinet cards and cartesde- visite. It is not clear whether this particular example was printed in 1868 or in the 1870s, when some cabinet card-sized prints were produced. It is also a possibility that some were printed at the time of Alamayou's death in 1879, when public interest in the Prince was renewed. The National Portrait Gallery, London, holds examples of portraits in the different formats.

The sitters were Florence Anson and Mary Ann Hillier. Colin Ford, 'Julia Margaret Cameron, The Complete Photographs' (2003), pp. 458-9. This is the first of four versions of the print made by Cameron, another rectangular (rather than arched top) copy of which is held by the Royal Photographic Society Collection in Bradford. Shortly before her death Cameron gave a print of 'The Kiss of Peace' to her youngest son, with the inscription: 'Dearest Charlie, I give you this Prize Copy of the most beautiful of all my photographs. This is a very splendid print so like a sepia painting that it is difficult to believe that it is a genuine untouched Photograph'.

National Gallery of Canada / Musée des beaux-arts du Canada
Purchased 1972, no. 21281
 
This photograph is available through CyberMuse - cybermuse.gallery.ca (Accessed: August 2010).
 
In the Photographic Collection of the Smithsonian Museum of American History (Catalog number: 481) this photograph is entitled "Saint John the Baptist" and the subject is noted to be Florence Fisher who was the grand-niece of the photographer Julia Margaret Cameron.
 
In the book Shannon Thomas Perich The Changing Face of Portrait Photography: From Daguerreotype to Digital (Washington, DC: National Museum of American History, 2010) p.24 it is stated that Cameron believed that females could stand in for male saints because the Christian message was more important than gender.
